While it wasn't a costume contest per se, Keki soaked up praise from attendees — and on the internet where images and video of the shaggy herding dog promptly viraled out on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

One new fan was so enamored that she even penned a poem in Keki's honor.

Unlike most of the other canines waddling about in cumbersome costumes, Keki took in the parade from the comfort of a yellow bucket that was piloted by her human mom, a veterinarian with All Creatures Animal Hospital.
